Petalon from London is in the spotlight in Exposé #18
Inspiring content on the consumer websites
A new edition of Exposé appears every two months on Funnyhowflowersdothat.co.uk and Thejoyofplants.co.uk. This international series, created by the Flower Council of Holland, introduces people with a great passion for flowers and plants. People who have also turned this passion into their work, for example as a florist, artist or stylist. For this edition, number 18, we visited Petalon in East London.
Petalon, bouquet delivery by bicycle
Affordable bouquet delivery
Petalon was founded in London by Florence Kennedy in 2013. She was looking for a way to deliver unique bouquets for an affordable price. Her husband James, who was starting his bicycle shop at the time, indirectly gave her an idea: why not deliver by bicycle? Florence now creates two bouquets every Monday which she then photographs and places on her website, after which the orders flood in. During the rest of the week these bouquets are delivered throughout London using special rucksacks or cargo bikes. Her self-taught style is now so popular that Florence also does bridal work, runs workshops and has published a flower book, Flowers Every Day.
